Again, it depends on the situation. The last time I raised my prices,
I was partially spurred on by the fact that several of my students
actually asked me when I would raise my rates! In fact, one of them
told me straight out that I was worth more than I was charging. So, I
decided that when I had a certain number of credits toward my Master's
accomplished, I'd give myself an across-the-board raise, much as
schoolteachers receive in making progress toward the next degree. I
raised my rates 33 percent, and nobody objected!
Deanna, use your intuition - you'll know what's right for your current
students.
